Page six Foreword THERE is analogy between the life of lhe ambitious student of night school and that of the youthful actor or actress who aspires to stardom, hence, iiAll the World's a Stag? was adopted as the theme of this publication. The school depicts the theatre. Literally, the classroom is as much of a stage as is that region behind the footlights. In both are portrayed and delineated the emotions to which humanity is heir. Each has its comedies and its tragedies. Each has its tribulations and its compensations. We, the members of the graduating class of '32, may regard the hours we passed in high scholastic endeavor a5 hours of rehearsal preparatory to our treading further the mammoth stageethe world. There each will strive for applause which is, in this instance, wealth and renown. Some of us are destined to play great parts and shine as stars in the drama of life. Others Of us will remain in the general Chorus as year after year shifts the scenes. None too halcyon were the nights we spent at Old Alma Mater and our frivolous voices which resounded through her corridors will revecho in haunting memories when the climax to the play of life has been performed and the final curtain is about to he rung down. Not one of us will escape the enchant- ment; neither those of us who had carried on to stellar realms, nor those of us who had always played the humble parts, unnoticed and unsung. This annual should serve us then as a book of magic mirrors, unfolding with each turning leaf, recollections of events at school, and reflecting the familiar faces of our co-actors who, with us, enacted the student roles while the midnight oil was burning.
